Relatively unexposed, definite chance based on C&D third on the second of three outings
18 (14)	Step Back In Time Chestnut J:Robert Whearty T:Chris Timmons	J:Robert Whearty T:Chris Timmons	122	p	300-01	52	73	28	18d	—	—	-6	3.2	2.25/1	9/1 10%

Not easy to win with (5-59) but placed 11 times, recent Curragh fifth was encouraging
15 (3)	My Girl Sioux Bay J:Jimmy Dalton(7) T:Andrew Slattery	J:Jimmy Dalton(7) T:Andrew Slattery	124	—	223254	54	75	-	15d	—	—	0	7.6	2.25/1	9/1 10%

2 (6)	Catherine Chroi Bay J:Jack Kearney T:Ms Claire O'Connell	J:Jack Kearney T:Ms Claire O'Connell	140	tb	00-942	70	75	42	34d	—	—	-1	7.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Nine-time winner, two creditable 6f runs in March, no match for an easy winner at Naas

Good effort over 6f on very soft ground at Naas before a disappointing display at Dundalk
5 (4)	Tawaazon Bay J:Darragh O'Sullivan(7) T:John Andrew Kinsella	J:Darragh O'Sullivan(7) T:John Andrew Kinsella	138	t	0600-0	68	82	62	17d	—	—	-2	6.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Eight wins to his name but none since 2023, has been out of form but ground will suit
6 (2)	Aurora Nova Bay J:Wesley Joyce T:Andrew McNamara	J:Wesley Joyce T:Andrew McNamara	137	—	4680-1	67	78	65	21d	—	—	+10	16	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Recovered from a slow start to win over this trip on seasonal debut, slower ground here
7 (16)	Inishmot Prince Bay J:James Ryan T:T G McCourt	J:James Ryan T:T G McCourt	137	v	646-73	67	85	58	22d	—	—	0	6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Nine of his 10 wins have come on AW, recent third at Dundalk shows he is in decent shape.

Looked unsuited by the Bellewstown track when fifth behind Aurora Nova, best on good going
4 (5)	Verified Bay J:Rory Mulligan(4) T:Charles Weld	J:Rory Mulligan(4) T:Charles Weld	139	—	79068-	69	70	59	148d	—	—	+1	6.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Placed only once, needs to step up on the form he showed at Dundalk before a winter break
19 (8)	Shoebox King Bay J:Wayne Hassett T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	J:Wayne Hassett T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	119	—	4405-8	49	81	76	21d	—	—	-4	1.4	5.00/1	20/1 5%
2-33 on turf, not one of his better efforts at Bellewstown, C&D winner on soft
14 (12)	Green Valentine Bay J:Jamie Powell T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	J:Jamie Powell T:Kevin Thomas Coleman	126	—	/4020-	56	78	72	203d	—	—	+2	6.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Final run last season may have come too soon after a promising second at Cork
3 (17)	Mary Shoelaces Brown J:Alexandra Egan(7) T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	J:Alexandra Egan(7) T:Eddie & Patrick Harty	140	b	361-03	70	73	52	14d	—	—	+2	6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Ran well for a different 7lb claimer at the Curragh, this easier ground may not be ideal
10 (18)	Hero Of The Hour Bay J:Sadhbh Tormey(7) T:T G McCourt	J:Sadhbh Tormey(7) T:T G McCourt	133	p	87-055	63	79	42	21d	—	—	+1	4.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%

Outran 100-1 odds when third over 7f on handicap debut last October, 5f may be inadequate
16 (20)	An Laochmor Bay J:Jack Cleary(2) T:J G Coogan	J:Jack Cleary(2) T:J G Coogan	123	v	760-60	53	68	59	27d	—	—	-1	1.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Fair handicap debut over 7f at Dundalk, tailed off over 1m at Leopardstown, up against it
12 (9)	La La Lucrative Bay J:Hugh Horgan(2) T:Matthew J Smith	J:Hugh Horgan(2) T:Matthew J Smith	129	h	851-00	59	81	12	14d	—	—	0	3.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Won over 6f on heavy on his final start in Britain; well below best in two Irish starts
9 (1)	Platino Bianco Grey J:Milo Malone(7) T:Chris Timmons	J:Milo Malone(7) T:Chris Timmons	134	—	82390-	64	71	66	174d	—	—	+5	7.1	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Fair form in maidens last autumn, handicap form does not inspire any confidence
NR (7)	Far At Sea Bay J:TBC T:P J F Murphy	J: T:P J F Murphy	119	—	600-0	59	55	39	15d	—	—	—	2.3	—	—
